The last game of the Lakers took place in the Christmas series - at home against Boston. The classic confrontation did not turn out to be stubborn and ended with a convincing victory for the Celtics. Darvin Ham's team fell behind by double digits in the first quarter, tied the game by the end of the first half, but then gave up without much chance of winning - 115-126. LeBron James did not play his best game - only 16 points, although he had nine rebounds and eight assists. On the other hand, Anthony Davis was brilliant, earning 40 points for efficiency. The Lakers are currently 16-15 and only ninth in the Western Conference, but they have a gap of only two wins from the playoff zone.

A back-to-back in Los Angeles is a tough test, even more so for the outsiders, which is Charlotte this season. Nevertheless, in the game against the Clippers, the Hornets fought against a strong opponent and failed only by 7 points in the fourth quarter - 104-113. Despite only scoring 104 points, Steve Clifford's team moved the ball around excellently - 31 assists for 11 turnovers. The Hornets lost their eighth straight game and are now 7-21 and 13th in the East, ahead of Washington and Detroit.

Three-point shooting is something the Los Angeles Lakers use seldom. Charlotte also struggles with that but defends better than the Lakers. The Lakers' ultimate victory in the game is not in doubt. In addition, we think it will be eventful, considering Charlotte's offense, which they showed in the meeting with the Clippers.
